The TEM-ITE Mentoring Program held by Transport Engineers at Monash and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) aims to connect students with established industry professionals to motivate, empower and encourage the next generation of professionals entering the transport industry.
The Program is spread across two university semesters. Participants are provided with an Induction Night information session and are supported throughout the year by TEM and ITE if there are any queries. Over the course of the program, mentors and mentees meet monthly to discuss and share knowledge and advice. Mentor/Mentee Workshops and Catch Up Sessions will be held throughout the program to facilitate group session and learn more about mentoring. For mentees this is an opportunity to learn more about the transport industry, develop new networks and build employability skills. The program will conclude with a Graduation Night, where mentee and mentors share their experiences and lessons learnt in the program.
